Right at this moment, the young man finally felt death approaching. It was a fear that came from the bottom of his heart. At the last moment of his life, the only thought in the young man's mind was regret. He regretted coming to the Gathering of Skynet, and he regretted being the first one to speak up.
But too bad, regret was useless. There were many medicines in this world, and there were even some divine pills, but there was no medicine for regret.
Crack!
Jiang Chen exerted some force in his palm and crushed the young man's neck. The gap between them was huge, and for Jiang Chen, killing this young man was as easy as killing an ant.
The young man's eyes were wide open, and his body slowly fell to the ground. Jiang Chen retracted his palm, then he didn't look at the young man again.
Hua!
With this, the crowd instantly burst into an uproar. Those Divine Core warriors who stood in front of the crowd were all frightened, and they kept retreating. Facing this young man who was like a devil, they had completely lost their arrogance and confidence. Even though Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi were standing behind them, they didn't feel safe at all.
Especially for those who had participated in the trip to the Island of Ice and witnessed Jiang Chen's strength, the fear in their hearts had reached its peak. Now that they were standing on the opposite side of Jiang Chen, they could feel a pressure that was as heavy as a mountain.
"Jiang Chen, you still dare kill someone in such a situation? Looks like you're really courageous!"
Xuan Yuzi raised the longsword in his hand and pointed it at Jiang Chen. His energy started increasing bit by bit, and the longsword in his hand was emitting layers of cold beams, causing those who looked at it to shiver in fear.
"The two of you aren't bad, but I really don't understand why you gathered these people to die. It should be to satisfy your high and mighty desires. It's not bad to let them serve as a foil for your appeal, in exchange for your sense of superiority. Am I right?"
Jiang Chen had a clear look at Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi. This Gathering of Skynet was useless to them, and if they really wanted to kill him, they could just fight him, and there was no need for them to gather so many men. Jiang Chen believed both of them knew that these men couldn't help him at all.
"Jiang Chen, everyone here is my, Shangguan Yiqing's, friends! I will never allow you to kill them again!"
Shangguan Yiqing shouted out at the top of his lungs. His words sounded quite righteous, causing all the people present to feel much better.
"Haha, if I were you, I'd leave this place right now! Don't get involved in this mess! I'll give you a chance right now, leave immediately! I won't kill him, or else, you'll end up like Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi!"
Jiang Chen laughed heartily and glanced around. He was giving these people a chance.
His words instantly stirred up the crowd, especially those who had participated in the trip to the Island of Ice. They knew very well how frightening Jiang Chen was, and if they stayed here, they would most likely lose their lives. To be honest, most of the people here today were hoping that Jiang Chen wouldn't show up. If that was the case, they wouldn't have to face Jiang Chen head-on, and they could still befriend people like Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi.
Who would have thought that Jiang Chen would show up, and in such a short amount of time? However, it was impossible for them to leave at this moment. If they offended Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi, they wouldn't be able to show up in the future.
Right now, they could only pray that Shangguan Yiqing's Skynet Formation could kill Jiang Chen.
"Cut the crap! Since you're here, don't think about leaving! Everyone, listen up! Take up positions in the Skynet Formation and seal off this entire mountain range! Don't give Jiang Chen any chance to escape!"
Shangguan Yiqing let out a loud shout.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded and flew off in all directions, each taking up a different position. What was supposed to be a relaxed banquet was about to turn into a brutal killing field in the blink of an eye.
"The Inescapable Net Formation. Interesting. Let me see just how powerful this formation is."
A grin emerged on Jiang Chen's face. He unleashed all of his energy, causing powerful energy waves to sweep across the place. His tremendous fighting intent soared into the sky, and even Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi were shocked by his formidable energy. It was hard to imagine that a Late Divine Core warrior could actually unleash such a violent energy.
Shangguan Yiqing waved his arm, then a golden talisman appeared in his palm. He casually tossed the talisman into the air, then he injected his energy into it. In an instant, the talisman exploded, turning into countless golden dots that disappeared into the sky.
At the same time, a faint light screen appeared on the mountain range within a radius of a dozen miles. Those people had occupied different positions on the light screen, completely sealing off the area.
"Looks like they still have some use. Too bad, this formation is too weak, it can't even withstand a single blow."
Jiang Chen casually glanced at the formation. In Jiang Chen's eyes, this so-called Skynet Formation was full of loopholes. As long as he wanted to break it, he had dozens of ways to do so. Shangguan Yiqing did have some attainments in formations, at least amongst the younger generation, there were very few who could compare with him. However, compared to the once greatest Saint beneath the heavens, Jiang Chen, the gap was huge.
"Is that so? Let me see what makes you so arrogant! "
After saying that, Xuan Yuzi swung the longsword in his hand, unleashing a bright sword beam toward Jiang Chen. Wherever the sword beam passed, the void was sliced in half. The genius sword skill of the Myriad Sword Sect was a peerless technique, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to defend against it.
Jiang Chen just stood where he was without moving. When the sword beam was about to reach him, he suddenly pointed his finger out. A gigantic golden finger appeared out of nowhere and collided with the sword beam.
The shockwave spread out in all directions, shattering all the stone tables in front of Jiang Chen.
"His combat strength is about the same as Wu Cong's."
Jiang Chen immediately determined Xuan Yuzi's true combat strength, it was almost the same as Wu Cong's. Even if they were to fight face to face, Jiang Chen wouldn't be afraid. If he took out the Heavenly Saint Sword, he was confident he could kill Xuan Yuzi.
"Skybreak Slash, First Form!"
Xuan Yuzi attacked once again. The longsword in his hand had turned into a long dragon, and it slashed out a bright and gigantic beam of light. It carried a force that could split the heavens and the earth, and it arrived in front of Jiang Chen in the blink of an eye.
"Your sword skill isn't bad, but that's all. Let's end this quickly, I don't have time to play with you."
With a wave of his arm, the Heavenly Saint Sword appeared in Jiang Chen's hand, producing a sharp whistling sound. Obviously, he wanted to end this fight quickly. His sudden appearance on Mount Tianyuan had already exceeded everyone's expectations, and if he stayed here for too long, he might attract the attention of the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect's older generation warriors. That wasn't something he wanted to see.
Buzz!
The Heavenly Saint Sword kept vibrating and producing a buzzing sound. It drew an arc in the air in Jiang Chen's hand and collided with Xuan Yuzi's attack. The powerful Heavenly Saint Sword instantly destroyed Xuan Yuzi's attack.
Ha!
After that, Jiang Chen let out a loud shout and raised the Heavenly Saint Sword high up into the air, then he swung it down at Xuan Yuzi. It was a simple attack, fast and powerful.
"Skybreak Slash, Second Form!"
Xuan Yuzi attacked once again. As the number one genius of the Myriad Sword Sect, his sword skill was so strong that not many people could compare with him.
The air was shaking, and a rainbow colored sword beam was casually floating in the sky. Xuan Yuzi unleashed a net of sword energy, spinning like a whirlpool.
However, it seemed like Jiang Chen's sword was extremely heavy. It slashed down from above, creating a crack in the air as it collided with the net of sword energy.
Rumble …
A deafening explosion sounded out, and half of the mountain below was destroyed. The invincible sword energy had completely destroyed Xuan Yuzi's net of sword energy. However, the energy of the sword energy was far from being depleted, it kept rushing forward like a wild beast.
Tap tap tap …
Under the tremendous force, Xuan Yuzi was forced to take a dozen steps back before he could stabilize his body. His face turned pale as he suffered a backlash from the force, and his Qi and blood started tumbling within his body.
"How is this possible?!"
Xuan Yuzi's face turned pale with fright. With his combat strength, he was actually defeated by a young Divine Core warrior, this was like a dream to him. However, right after that, Xuan Yuzi threw his glance onto the longsword in Jiang Chen's hand. Apart from being shocked, a greedy look could be seen in his eyes.
"It really is a divine weapon! If I didn't have this sword, Jiang Chen wouldn't be my match!"
Xuan Yuzi put all the blame on the sword in Jiang Chen's hand.
"This guy is really as strong as he said! Xuan Yuzi, let's fight together!"
After witnessing Jiang Chen's frightening strength, Shangguan Yiqing dared not hesitate any longer. He flew up into the sky and sat down with his legs crossed. In front of his legs, a red zither appeared.
The zither strings were as sharp as blades. This was Shangguan Yiqing's combat weapon.
Shangguan Yiqing placed both of his hands on the zither strings and started plucking the strings with his fingers. In an instant, a beautiful melody resounded throughout the mountain range. It was melodious and pleasant to the ears.
"I'll play the zither and laugh towards the heavens!"
Suddenly, the aura of the zither changed. Notes surged out from the zither like a raging river and overturning the sea. Each note was like a sharp knife, sharp to the extreme.
Not only did the zither's melody have a very strong offensive strength, it could also attack the enemy's Divine Sense. It was an extremely frightening attack.
"Sky Opening Slash, the third form!"
On the other side, Xuan Yuzi attacked once again. It was as if the longsword in his hand had come to life. Countless sword beams were unleashed, forming a dazzling ocean of swords.
This was the first time the two geniuses of the Jian Province had teamed up. Since they were once rivals, they had a better understanding of each other. At this moment, the sound waves and the ocean of swords covered the entire sky. Wherever they passed, mountains would collapse, and rocks would roll in all directions.
"Hmph! There is nothing that can't be destroyed by my Heavenly Saint Sword! "
